Had the ship been other than an engineless wreck, falling through a hundred and fifty million miles of emptiness into the flaming photosphere of a sun, everything would have seemed quite normal, including the errand Baird and Diane were upon, and the fact that they held hands self-consciously as they went about it.

Setting all equipment to full-globular scanning, Baird felt a certain crawling sensation at the back of his neck.

The Niccola swerved and drove toward the object Baird identified as a Plumie ship.

So Baird heard the orders for the engine room to be sealed up and the duty-force to get into pressure suits, in case the Niccola fought and was hulled.

And Baird had again the frustrating duty of remaining still and keeping his head while other men engaged in physical activity.

The skipper watched on a vision plate, but Baird reported so all the Niccola's company would know.

They hadn't and couldn't have the enormous capacity Baird had expected.

They had reached that indentation when Baird saw that the inner air-lock door was closing.

He flung himself at Baird, and Baird toppled because he'd put one foot past the welded boundary between the Niccola's cobalt steel and the Plumie ship's bronze.

And that was a ghastly sensation, because if Taine only tugged his other foot free and heaved—why—then Baird would go floating away from the rotating, now-twinned ships, floating farther and farther away forever.

No arrangements had been made for Baird's departure, which Jannis found distinctly ominous, but Baird readily consented to the conditions.

After a few minutes it began descending at a 45-degree angle, and when it leveled out again Baird estimated that he was at least four miles beneath the surface.
